Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Deloitte LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of twelve months after signing the financial statements and, therefore, continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The increase in turnover of $186,824,000 to $545,514,000 (2023 - $358,690,000) during the year reflects an increase in the incidence of the Company being utilised to aid other Oliver Wyman Group companies.”
- “Interest payable in the year totalled $6,030,000 (2023 - $5,123,000), this was as a result of the increased interest rates on renewed loans from group undertakings from April 2024.”
- “The Company paid an interim dividend in the year of $25,000,000 (2023 - $Nil).”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
